Simple and cooperative electrostatic binding of ammonium ions to phosphate polyions: NMR, infrarred and theoretical study
Article Abstract:
A study conducted, showed that both methyl ammonium and tetramethylammonium ions bind to the polyanion of a polyphosphate in a simple equilibrium. Using a combination of FTIR spectra and high level quantum-mechanical calculations it is proposed that the binding product in both cases has the nature of hydrated contract ion pair, in which three immediately bound water molecules increase the distance between oppositely charged ions and thus decrease the energy of electrostatic binding.
